I have worked with Gouache for 40 years. Gouache is an opaque cousin of watercolor. Watercolor is a stain and Gouache is paint
There are many brands of paint. My favorite is Winsor & Newton Designers Gouache
To work in black and white, students can start with Titanium White and Ivory Black
Add color with this palette: Titanium White, Cadmium Yellow, Cadmium Red Light, and Ultramarine Blue. (Great way to learn to mix color)
Or start with any colors, student’s choice
Brushes for gouache are the same as watercolor brushes. Good brushes are a must. Rounds and Flats. Not bristle brushes
Plastic palette or ordinary dinner plate
Water container
Pencils and erasers
Best surface is Illustration Board. Watercolor paper is ok (not hot press)
